CANACINTRA and Zacua boosts the Mexican Electric Automotive Industry

The National Chamber of the Manufacturing Industry (CANACINTRA) and Zacua have signed a collaboration agreement to analyze, design, and promote electric vehicle projects tailored to the needs of Mexican industry, with the aim of expanding the participation of domestic companies in the electromobility value chain.

The agreement calls for the development of initiatives related to electric vehicles that will address the specific needs of Mexico’s industrial sector, as well as the creation of opportunities in the areas of supply chain management, innovation, and technological development.

The main focus of the collaboration is the integration of Mexican companies into the electromobility value chain, a segment that requires manufacturers, suppliers, and companies specializing in technologies related to electric vehicles.

Zacua is a Mexican brand of urban electric vehicles owned by Motores Limpios. The company launched the brand in 2017 and opened an assembly plant in Puebla in 2018.

The company began as the first Mexican electric car brand to develop a first generation of two-seater urban vehicles. It is currently working on a second generation of electric vehicles.

The collaboration with CANACINTRA aims to integrate the capabilities of a Mexican company specializing in electric mobility with domestic companies that can participate in various segments of the production chain related to these vehicles.

Under this agreement, both organizations will review projects that position the Mexican industry as a central component of electric mobility initiatives, with opportunities for domestic companies involved in components, technological solutions, and specialized industrial capabilities.

This is how CANACINTRA and Zacua plan to strengthen national industrial integration around electromobility, through projects designed to connect the needs of Mexican industry with the capabilities of suppliers, technology firms, and manufacturers.
